FSiPanel is an award winning software developed by an airline instructor designed to help flight simulator enthusiasts to train approaches on their favorite airplanes the same way as airline pilots do.
This is standard edition, if you are looking for the more advanced version allowing you to fly training scenarios including an advanced failure panel, look for FSiPanel 2020 ADVANCED EDITION (PMDG 737, Fenix A320 and Maddog MD82 only)
FSiPanel allows you to use a simple but powerful ‘point-and-click’ instructor panel to set approaches.
FSiPanel will position your aircraft at the following positions within a few seconds:
Final approach from any distance
Downwind leg
Base leg
Vectors (30° or 45° intercept)
10’000, 20’000 or 30’000 ft in cruise
On an Airport STAR (Standard Terminal Arrival Route)
On Snapshots positions (PMDG 737 & Maddog MD82 only)
On Pilot's created waypoints
FSiPanel is type specific, imagine yourself being ready to fly your approach in less than a minute with the following items set for you:
Correct indicated airspeed for the given aircraft weight
Correct flaps setting depending on position (Clean, Vectors or Final Approach)
Correct Autopilot and Autothrottle modes set and engaged
ILS frequencies and courses set.
All systems set correctly (Hydraulic, Fuel, Pneumatic, Lights, Electrical, and more)
FSiPanel can also select random failures during your approach, user can select a specific system or let FSiPanel pick any failure! This feature is available on PMDG 737 and Maddog MD82
FSiPanel will bring your flight simulator experience to the next level !
Funktioniert mit Fenix 320 ausgezeichnet! Man muss aufpassen das die Navdaten aktualisiert sind ansonsten stimmen die Höhen und Abstände nicht. Aber genial um Landings zu lernen! PMDG habe ich noch nicht ausprobiert.
Program does what it says it's going to do, easily and without too much fuss. Would be 5 stars except I feel the price is too high. Advanced edition offered nothing I was interested in so I opted for the Standard version and don't regret the purchase (except for price.)
You can use any of the included default aircraft in any flavor of Microsoft Flight Simulator, and also add most any 3rd party aircraft (SWS Kodiak, JF Turbo Arrows, Carenados, PMDG, etc.) Not sure about helicopters as I'm not interested in rotary wings but I'm sure it's mentioned somewhere.
Load a plane onto a runway, turn on the flight director and within a minute you can setup an approach to fly over and over again. Start downwind one time then change the approach to vectors, left or right traffic. Change altitudes, weather, wind. Developer has numerous videos on YouTube.
